SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If
the tires begin to slip, shut down the
blades if so equipped or shut off the
engine and move slowly down the slope.
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to
be on guard for children in the vicinity of
the machine. Children are often attracted
to the machine and mowing work. Never
assume that children will stay where you
last saw them.
• Keep children away from the mowing
area and under close supervision by
another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the
machine if children enter the work area.
• Before and during a reversing maneuver,
look backward and downward for
children.
• Never allow children to operate the
machine.
• Be particularly cautious near corners,
bushes, trees, or other objects that block
your view.

adjustments while the engine is running.
